Pure maple syrup breakfast set for April 27

Volunteers like these two prepare sap for maple syrup, part of the Neversink Valley Area Museum’s annual Pure Maple Syrup Breakfast on Sunday, April 27, beginning at 8 a.m. at the D & H Canal Park Visitors’ Center, 58 Hoag Road in Cuddebackville. The breakfast is an all-you-can-eat event and costs $5 for adults and $2.50 for children. Frank Simpson, one of the museum’s founders, has collected sap and will demonstrate how the thin, clear liquid is made into the dark, rich syrup. A glossary of maple terms, maple puzzles and old-fashioned maple recipes will be available to all who ask. For additional information, call 754-8870.
